And silly, since coffee flavor sucks the longer it is exposed to air,
so any real geek would know they would need to have a coffee grinder
attached to the contraption (and ideally keep the beans refrigerated to
reduce their oxygen uptake until ground).

As for the whole 'mass-market' thing... that is a very hard problem:
Apple obviously owns the whole iPod/iTunes world.. yet I don't think
Airports really sell all that well, especially not for music. 
Convincing "normal" people that a network music player of any sort is a
good thing is not something even Apple has been really successful with.

I don't know how to break that hurdle: allinone sorts of devices (like
Vortexbox) would help.  Getting "home theater installation" people on
board to install such a thing would also help (though with the current
economy.. I don't know how well those businesses are doing).
